We’ve been seeing it a lot lately—sweats and other athletic wear (“athleisure” wear) making their way into everyday work garb. And finally that trend has made its way to our suits.
Ministry of Supply, a clothing company founded by two MIT graduates and whose fits and fabrics are steeped in science and technology, has recently launched the world’s first-ever “3D” suit.
Made from a thick, flexible, foam-like material that provides three-dimensional shape and structure, the 3D suit’s fabric is designed to stretch seamlessly with the movement of your body while still retaining its full shape and structure. And while the material may be thick, it’s actually soft-to-the-touch and feels “light as air” on your body—even with an added layer of insulation for the colder months. Plus its polyester fibers help wick away moisture, ensuring that even if you do sweat, it won’t seep through and smell as it would with other suits. And the best part? It’s wrinkle-free and machine washable, so you can literally toss your suit in the wash without worrying about damaging the fabric and/or sending it to the cleaners before every wear.
The 3D suit is currently available in both blue and grey can be purchased online or in Ministry of Supply’s three brick and mortar locations in New York, Boston, and San Francisco.
